Now that Window Maker have been fixed to allow the user to properly control
and save the title bar/resize bar/other decoration settings on the window,
describe the problem reported (first) by Nerijus Baliunas, so more people
may find the answer.

+3.11 When I run GNOME application they have no title bar.
+----------------------------------
+
+The GNOME toolkit decided to behave his own way, so it draws its own title bar
+with buttons, and asks Window Maker to not draw anything (title bar, resize
bar,
+close and miniaturise button, ...).
+
+The workaround is, for each application, to ask for Window Maker's window menu
+(that is likely <Ctrl>+<Escape> if you did not change it), get the Attributes,
+and click on the greyed "Disable titlebar" until it is white (the same can be
+done for other decoration attributes).
